Mega Mawile though is definitely equal to MLucario in terms of threatening, should be A+ rank too

Where would bronzong fair? Being able to set up trick room and even check mega Salamence and many other physical threats with its excellent typing and defensive stats Despite Huge Power, power difference between M-Mawile and M-Lucario. Mawile's STAB combination is resisted by both Fire and Steel. The positive trait of Mega Mawile would be defensive utility. However, Mega Lucario has better offensive typing and speed, which is extremely useful for offensive pokemon.

To illustrate :

252+ Atk Huge Power Mawile-Mega Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 178-211 (42.3 - 50.2%)

252 Atk Adaptability Lucario-Mega Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 182-216 (43.3 - 51.4%)

For Mega Altaria, I may overkilled it. Will think about moving it up to B-. Hyper Voice damage is quite underwhelming though, despite Pixilate boost and SpAtk investment.

Bronzong can be ranked high if Stealth Rock is released, since it is one of the best traits of Bronzong. With Trick Room support, however, I will think about ranking it later.
